Terry has 2 Kindles...one of which is one of the biggies [with an absurdly small keyboard....lousy for poor eyesight]... probably generation one and 2.... and the Oasis is something like 8th generation.

She's gonna wait a few more generations...as features need to get trickier to justify the change.

Curiously, her eyesight is such that she uses the largest font available...or maybe a few dozen words per 'page-turn' which means they need to be recharged every night....not days/weeks like 'normal people'...

The 'big one'... A Second Gen 'DX'....with the crappy keyboard...these things weren't a touch-screen.

I have to say, I really didn't mind the non-touch screen version. It was great just being able to grab the thing just about any old way and not have it turn a page. It was a lot easier to avoid buttons than touching the screen at all.

Not that I dislike the touch screen version, just that one thing was sort of a positive. The other changes that came along with the move to touch screen still make those newer models much better.
